"Joy brings a sparkle to everything she does. Her energy and enthusiasm are or inspirational." F.A.: Company director

 

"Joy comes to any event with energy, enthusiasm and an openness that draws people in. Her insight and experience, principally gained through working with academic and medical groups, allows her to engage diverse and often disparate people on a broad range of topics. In addition, she has extensive knowledge and understanding of how to support individuals at both junior and senior levels. Crucially, she is also well-organised and keen to make efficient use of everyone's time." SD: ProV-C

 

"Key Skills: Practical Sensitive Problem Solver. Excellent at Conflict Resolution Instills Respect.

Joy helped resolve a feud between Postgraduate Students in my Department that was originally centred on a Cultural Clash and had got out of control. Joy's hands on  approach in talking to the students resolved the conflict quickly and easily. She established a rapport with the parties involved and established their respect. Joy is an exceptional person with exceptional skills." RH Senior Professor

 

"I have known Joy Hinson for 15 years as a respected colleague. We worked together when she was Deputy Dean for Students some years ago,  which was a great pleasure. Joy is an intelligent woman who is able to think out of the box, a rare gift in an academic. She is fair and non- judgemental, both important attributes when dealing with the complex issues of students. I have always felt supported and appreciated by her. On a different note, she has a great sense of humour which often puts difficult situations into perspective for all concerned." Jo Brown Reader in Medical Education &Head of Quality in Teaching & Learning

​

"Having worked with Joy on many projects related to postgraduate education, mentoring and support for academic colleagues, and quality assurance, I have always found her to be an excellent colleague who is rigorous, collegial, and effective in creating improvements. She is a good listener, but is also able to be constructively critical when that is needed and help deliver consensual new approaches. She is focussed and gets things done." Morag Shiach: Director of Creativeworks London, Professor of Cultural History QMUL

​

"I would strongly recommend Joy as an excellent higher-academic mentor. While I have had very supportive mentors in my research field and department, discussing with Joy has been unique and special as I could obtain unbiased and nonjudgmental mentoring support." VMD, QMUL.

​

"My experience of working with Joy on developing training for academics who have a pastoral student support role, is that she brings a natural warmth and vibrancy to her work.  Her clear and pragmatic style is refreshing to work with, and she builds trust and rapport with ease." L Sequeira: Head of University Advice and Counselling Service
